words of advice to young geeks
IF you submit a bug report using the built-in bug-reporting tool, don't strip out the debug information. It's there for a reason.
IF the built-in bug-reporting tool sends mail to a subscriber-posting-only list, subscribe to that list. It's only polite and shows you have an interest in the code, and in seeing if your bug is fixed.
IF the list/code maintainer politely mails you to suggest that you still haven't subscribed to the list, and he's getting kinda tired of approving all your damned emails (but politely), don't be condescending in your reply. Because he's the maintainer, and it's as easy to drop your posts as approve them.
Comma, you dork.
